Scroll of
Memories
This is the first project that I assisted Nina
Solomon with from 2005-2006. Scroll
of Memories celebrates the 75th anniversary of Beth El
Congregation at 1118 W. Glendale Ave., Phoenix, AZ. The bench and
scroll are built of Fiberglass Reinforced Concrete (FGRC) over carved
Styrofoam forms. All of the tiled surfaces are made of handmade,
glazed, ceramic tile. The congregants of Beth El participated in many
aspects of the project from design and concept, to shaping Styrofoam
forms, cementing the forms, making and glazing tiles. They developed a
text and photo history which Nina translated into photo tiles through a
process using an HP laser printer and Lasertran decal paper.
